WHILE browsing social media, I couldn't help but notice the recurring posts about artificial intelligence (AI) and its emergence. Indeed, it has affected various multimedia platforms. The first trend I noticed was the rise of AI-generated art content that has made its rounds in social media, particularly on my Facebook feeds.

Among the examples of AI-generated art content I saw were some hyperrealistic art that is typically only done by real humans through months of painstaking and continuous focus on one's craft. However, these AI-generated artworks are commonly created in just a few seconds or minutes based on a user's uploaded image or prompt. Among the artworks, I can only notice one flaw that distinguishes AI-generated artwork from human-made artwork: the inconsistencies involving the "hands" of depicted humans. Nevertheless, it takes focused attention to detail to spot such errors. I realized that AI had evolved so much from its initial depiction in the 1950s when it was used for the purposes of scientific and programming breakthroughs. Right now, AI can also be commercialized and utilized by the general public for entertainment.
